we have recently got planning approval for our place (after a long wait with council) and i'm now starting to look at some of the finer details.
Being a nerd that designs networks for a living - our house will have network cables running everywhere (and a central patch panel - and what im trying to find is appropriate devices that will run over cat6 cable)
What im hoping someone can help me with is my initial list of requirements:
1) Everything possible must run over network cables
2) Wireless option may be accpetable for some devices
3) Media centre devices (This is a given, with new TV's supporting DLNA out of the box and if not, getting a WD or similar media box)
4) Security camera system – network usable – PC server software instead of appliance for recording would be good
5) Home intercom system – network, multiple points, preferably POE
6) Doorbell video system – network, multiple endpoints, preferably POE
7) Speakers - utilising network cable instead of speaker cable - have seen the DIY wirings - but is it possible to purchase coverters ?

Anyhoo - if anyone has a location of where to pick these things up - info would be much appreciated.
